  • Unique because of politics segment

    This is a good podcast. Farr brings in some decent guests and it is the only financial podcast I have come across with a dedicated segment on current politics. The intro music and MC are so cheesy though. Farr kept saying that two stocks, Microsoft and ‘Google’ (=Alphabet), make up 20% of the S&P 500 index. I went back and re-listened to the 8/25/23 episode to confirm this. His statement is completely incorrect. There weren’t any two stocks that made up 20%. As of 8/1/23 the two largest stocks b... more

  • Disappointing

    Jim Lebanthal and Dan Mahafee are a joke. Someone tell them the latest NBC poll 74% feel country is heading in the wrong direction. I didn’t realize the Farrcast was left wing garbage and talking points.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

That Ship Has, Well, Not Sailed
Q: What did European leaders want from the U.S. in terms of leadership and defense cooperation?

That Ship Has, Well, Not Sailed
Q: Tell us about the headlines you're seeing from your travels and conversations.
The discussion centers on a fragile transatlantic alliance, energy shocks, and strategic questions about how the U.S. can maintain leadership while managing debt and defense expenditures.
An Exhalation -- Not a Resolution
Q: What changes do we make? How do you look at my portfolio?

The FarrBlast -- Subscribe Today!
Q: How do geopolitics influence portfolio strategy in the near term?
Treat geopolitical headlines as short-term chaos that does not derail long-term value; niche opportunities can arise from energy transport challenges and defense Sector dynamics, but stay disciplined.
